I’d be surprised if the Somerset site could accommodate them as well as I think a fair chunk will be taken up by Hinkley C related businesses.
Still that factory will have a massive energy demand and close proximity to a new nuclear power station would be a bonus.
Since no-one else wants to make the obvious joke...Still that factory will have a massive energy demand and close proximity to a new nuclear power station would be a bonus.
The innovation for Teslas built in the UK will be that they save on battery usage by glowing in the dark.
"The UK's largest car manufacturing plant is "unsustainable" if the UK leaves the European Union without a trade deal, owner Nissan says.
The Japanese company's global chief operating head told the BBC people had to understand the EU was the Sunderland factory's biggest customer.
Ashwani Gupta said that Nissan's commitment could not be maintained if there was not tariff-free EU access."
Just bluffing?

Genuinely why would they even contemplate staying here without tariff free access? The Japanese company's global chief operating head told the BBC people had to understand the EU was the Sunderland factory's biggest customer.

They're closing their Barcelona plant at a reported expected cost of €1.5bn - a figure which would take seven years to recover - based on the assumption that there will be a trade deal between two parties that show no signs of reconciliation?The Japanese company's global chief operating head told the BBC people had to understand the EU was the Sunderland factory's biggest customer.

I want some of what they're taking

Nissan, trying to influence the outcome of negotiations? I am *shocked* to the core. The Japanese company's global chief operating head told the BBC people had to understand the EU was the Sunderland factory's biggest customer.

..almost as shocked as I am by Remainers leaping on it as a sign that we must capitulate in the current negotiations.

Perhaps they anticipate an FTA in the near future (even if not by 1/1/21). Given the trade surplus the EU have, its common sense to assume it will happen sooner or later.paulrockliffe said:

Sunderland is one of the most productive car plants in the world.

Why would they close their only EU factory instead of the Sunderland factory if manufacturing here without tariff free access was uncontemplatable?
Because they will build cars in France at under utilised Renault factories the French government is keeping open, Cummings is not the only one who can play 4d chesscitizensm1th said:

The costs of building in inefficient factories staffed under French employment law massively outweigh a tariff as low as ten percent...
But the only tariff they would pay is in the UK, I wonder where they would sell more cars if they were making them inside the single market the UK or the EU? And the French would bend over backwards to get one over the UK so I'd fully expect some sneaky back door financial help if Nissan did offer to keep French worker working. citizensm1th said:

Are they the factories they are closing and part of the 15000 job losses Renault have just announced ? There were reports that some Renault models production would also be transferred to Sunderland, the Captur being one mentioned

Nissan wont build anything in France, it also is committed to expanding its UK sales, that's one of its major European strategies for future growth. If they moved to France and we don't have an FTA, then our WTO import rate is 10% on cars, so they would be moving to massively increase costs, reduce efficiency, tie in future high shutdown costs if it goes wrong and have to invest in an expensive move. Not happening, they would likely just abandon Europe completely and build Japan only.jsf said:
